Show SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 21, 1996 Community Film commission putting Domestic Blitz By Dixie Brunner Spring cleaning and other general obligations Around this time of year I get the urge, or shall I say feel the obligation, to do spring cleaning! Falling closely behind my questionable culinary talents, are my skills as a housekeeper. Theres no danger of me being featured in Better Homes and Gardens, if you get my drift. But I do it anyway. hy? Beoause its there. How come that doesnt sound as noble as climbing a mountain? Cleaning is an unpleasant reality. Theres something depressing about knocking yourself out over a job thatll need to be done again in a day or two, (or in the case at our house, an hour or two.) According to TV, some people get a lot of satisfaction out of cleaning. I dont know about you, but while a clean floor is nice, Im not the kind that gets down on my hands and knees, smiling deliriously at my reflection in the tiles. But there are different degrees to which one can commit him herself to cleaning. There is the once over easy cleaning, where you quickly pick up domestic debris that has accumulated in say, the last half-hou- r or so. Next you have your weekly penance cleaning. As per its name, this occurs roughly every seven days when you feel obligated to do a more cleaning. I still havent figured how I arrived with the obligation either. I remember a recent conversation with my husband. . . Dixie, I washed the dishes for you while you were out grocery shopping, he announced proudly. I was so grateful I almost kissed his feet. Then I got thinking... now wait a minute, he washed the dishes for me ? Well, isnt that special?! Under penance cleaning would fall jobs such as kitchen floor mopping, vacuuming (no moving furniture, please) and dusting. in-dep- th president visiting.

Dust mites havent a prayer. There is a psychological danger that can accompany precursory purging however. Once you get the job done, you just want to do absolutely everything to maintain this higher level of cleanness. It is not uncommon to see a mom seizure if she catches her son dropping a dirty sock on the floor! The problem with this whole cleaning business is motivation. I lack it. Of course everyone wants a clean house. But who ever gets real excited about all your hard work? ' Oh honey, he says in a low, husky voice as he wraps his arms around you. I just love it when you polish the furniture, it excites me so. How many times can one reasonably except a spouse to compliment you on a shiny toilet bowl? Our kitchen presents a unique cleaningchallenge. My standard rule is clean the oven every third time the smoke alarm goes off. I used to use the excuse of being pregnant to get out of oven cleaning. The fumes were bad for me. I had to give that excuse up after four pregnancies. Of course, then we always have the refrigerator... Mom, theres something green and slimy in our icebox.
